Description

This Routledge Library Editions volume examines fundamental questions about educational theory and practice in Britain, moving beyond the tired polarisations between conventional and progressive, selective and comprehensive, elite and democratic approaches. The author argues that modern education requires a new ethical foundation, particularly as traditional religious frameworks no longer provide universal guidance. Drawing on the concept of a Rational Good, the book offers a coherent basis for rethinking educational philosophy and addressing practical issues in the classroom. By rejecting outdated political divisions that have stalled productive debate, this work presents a fresh perspective on how educational systems can serve both individual development and broader social goals. Essential reading for educators, policymakers and anyone seeking to understand the philosophical underpinnings of contemporary educational reform.
